Paralamm

Eimeria can cause diarrhea in lambs, which can lead to high losses even in organic farming operations. In general, treatments against parasites and coccidia with chemical-synthetic drugs should be used as little as possible to prevent the development of resistance.

Furthermore, treatments in organic farming involve a doubling of the withdrawal period. The herbal mixture Paramaxin is a supplementary feed approved for use in organic farming.
The aim of this study is to investigate the shedding of Eimeria bacteria in lambs and the weight development of the lambs up to slaughter when this herbal mixture is used in practical organic lamb fattening.
